How much do you have to spend? I would personally take the motor out, get it rebuilt and assessed for health and then put on the parts all at once and get it tuned for it. That way you could put on things like proper fuel rail and injectors and cooling so when you do put on say a big pulley you'll have the supporting mods for it. It depends on how much you have to spend though.
